Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies
These Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies are rich, chewy, and full of nutty, caramelized flavour. They have crisp edges, a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center and are topped with a sweet brown butter glaze.
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1/2 cup butter browned and cooled
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 Tbsp dry milk powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup toffee bits optional
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup butter browned
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tbsp milk to thin, if needed
Instructions
Make the cookies:
- Combine the oats, flour, milk powder, salt and baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
- In an electric mixer combine the butter with the sugar and the brown sugar. Mix well, for 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and the vanilla and mix well for several minutes, until very light and fluffy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the toffee bits, if using.
- Drop scoops of dough onto a baking sheet (I use a 2 1/2 Tbsp cookie scoop).
- Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool before drizzling on the glaze.
Make the glaze:
